2. Start by sewing a running stitch around the outer edge of
one of the smallest petals. When you get to the end of the edhes, keep the same
needle and thread and start on the second. Continue until you have all three of
the small petals sewn. Stitch all three of the petals together in the center.

3. Using the six, medium petals, start with one and stitch
to the underneath side of the small cluster. Pinch the petal a bit when sewing
to “gather” it a bit. Continue adding the five remaining petals in the same
method moving around the cluster and layering them.

4. Tie a knot to secure and trim the floss.

5. Sew the four large petals just as you sewed the small
pieces in step 2.Arrange under the
medium petals and sew to secure. Tie a knot and trim the floss.

6. Roll the felt to make the stem. Sew up the side to
secure. Sew on to the base of the succulent.

2. Sew the two stars together with right sides facing, leave an opening at the bottom of the star. Clip the curves, turn right sides out and fill with fiberfill.

3. Place one end of the dowel in to the stuffed star as far as it will go. You might need to rearrange some stuffing to get it in there. Hand stitch the opening of the star closed around the dowel.

4. Roughly cut a 4" circle from fabric. Run a gathering stitch around the outside. Pull the thread to gather up the circle and place some fiberfill around the bottom of the circle. Place the remaining end of the dowel into the circle and pull snug. Stitch around to hold the circle tight on the wand.

5. Place all three ribbons together and tie a knot in the middle. Tack stitch to the bottom of the star in front of the dowel.

6. Use a glue gun to additionally secure the ends of the dowel into the stuffed pieces.
